To be fair, the earliest iPhone has nearly twice the total ram of the Wii and half the video ram of the PS3. Then you consider that the PS3/360 version of the game was 720p while iPhone resolution isn't even 480p [720x480] but actually 320x480.

That isn't fair, since that's still a hell of a lot less powerful, and not all the RAM is for gaming.

It is fair actually. The iPhone is to Wii development in terms of risk for a large publisher what Wii shovelware is to a 'AAA' title. It costs absolutely nothing to distribute games and they have an inbuilt word of mouth mechanism (its a phone). The only cost is really just the sunk costs involved in making and certifying the titles in question. There are precisely zero logistical and publishing costs to consider and the margin on every title is a flat 70%.
